It was established in 1979 as an alternative to the town's daily newspaper, the Peninsula Times Tribune, which ceased publishing in 1993. At that time, the Weekly expanded to twice-a-week. In 1995, a new daily, the Palo Alto Daily News, began publishing. In 2008, a second daily, The Daily Post, began in Palo Alto. In September 2009, the Weekly reverted to publishing just one day a week, on Fridays.
